785 rune word
The bar owner raised his head, and his eyes that were originally filled with drunkenness flashed with a sharp light. He then continued to speak in a lazy tone, ” “I’m plagued with troubles every day. You don’t have to see it, anyone can see it.”
Although he said that, the big-bearded boss didn’t slow down. He quickly took the money and turned around to get a few glasses of malt beer for them. A thick layer of malt foam emerged on the top of the beer glasses, and it smelled very fragrant, making people hungry.
since you’ve come from afar, I won’t pursue this matter with you. Drink this cup and leave. If you want to drink more, come back later when the business is open. The big-bearded boss said like an old man.
Link smiled and said to his subordinates, ” everyone, come and try the best malt beer in Saint Sula. There won’t be another shop like this after this village. Then link paused and stared at the eager Helen.”helen, you’re not an adult yet, so you’re not included.”
His words made Helen listless like a frosted eggplant.
The others, including Alfred, each picked up a glass and downed it in one go.
Link also picked up his malt beer. The rich aroma of malt assailed his nose, followed by a sweet and refreshing taste.
Al, Gamesh, what do you think of this beer with your experience? ” Asked link.
Alfred pursed his lips and savored the taste for a moment, then said, ” the fragrance is still lingering in the mouth. It’s brewed with carefully selected high-grade barley, and the temperature and humidity are just right. It’s indeed a rare quality.
Gamesh was an old mage, and he had drunk a lot of Pandora’s wine and magic wine. He said, ” “I can taste time from this beer. It’s different from magically-catalyzed brew. When this glass of beer entered my stomach, I seemed to see wheat being scattered into the paddy fields, growing all the way to the brewing and fermentation process. This is the taste given by time.”
Both of them had very high evaluations. The bar owner, graves, could not help but raise his head, his nose facing the sky, and said happily, ” ” of course, this is my unique craft. i’m relying on this to support my business. otherwise, how could i have opened a shop at this big dock where businessmen come and go? ”
Graves filled another glass of beer and slid it across the bar to link. I see that you guys know your stuff. This glass of wine is a gift for you. Leave quickly after you’ve finished drinking. If you want to drink, come back later.
However, link was unmoved by the gesture. He didn’t even touch the malt beer on the counter. He stared at graves and said seriously, isenhore, the missing observation team and the missing gun blueprints, I have a way to bring back the people and things you want. It’s all up to you. You can contact me when you’ve thought it through.
Link picked up a golden name card between his index and middle fingers and held it in front of graves.
The drunkenness in graves ‘eyes disappeared, and his expression turned ferocious. He grabbed Link’s wrist and asked fiercely, ” “How did you know?”
However, when graves made his move, he realized that he had miscalculated. The other party was not someone he could easily control. In terms of strength, he could completely compete with him.
The veins on gravus “face were bulging, but Link’s expression was one of satisfaction.
“Don’t ask me how I know. It’s all up to you whether you want to get it back or not.”
Link kicked the ball back to graves.
Graves ‘expression was complicated. On one hand, he was shocked that link actually knew this secret. On the other hand, he was also wondering if link could really complete the mission.
“Why should I believe you?” Graves asked.
Link’s lips curled up into an annoying smile. because you don’t have a choice. You can either believe that I can get it back, or you can bury this matter in your heart forever.
Graves was in a stalemate for a while, and finally let out a long sigh.
“Although I don’t know where you got this information from, I have to tell you that I’ve arranged for trustworthy people to investigate, but none of them returned. That place is very dangerous, and your strength is not outstanding, so I don’t think you’ll win. However, just as you said, I will fight for even the slightest hope. If you can successfully bring back the item, I will definitely reward you handsomely.”
“Don’t worry. Since I have the guts to ask you to take this mission, I naturally know the risks.”
hearing that, the smell of alcohol disappeared from graves ‘body. he then walked to the door of the bar and closed it, hanging the’ closed ‘sign on it.
“If it’s possible, I hope that you can bring back the bodies of my clansmen in addition to the black box. Of course, this is all under the premise that you’re safe. The more things you bring back, the more rewards you’ll get.”
even though I already know, I still want you to tell me the whole story in detail. I don’t want to miss out on any useful clues or information, ” link said. Graves didn’t hide anything either. He told link everything while the others listened carefully.
“This is what happened. I hope you can bring them back smoothly.” graves ‘eyes lit up, and hope rose in his heart again.
After graves ‘explanation, link received a system notification that he had triggered a mission. He did know about the mission, but if it hadn’t come from graves, Link’s system wouldn’t have triggered it. As for the clues and details, it was all just a casual remark.
[ you have triggered the B-Rank quest [ graves ‘request ]. ]
[ support mission hint: the last of gravus ‘race left their hometown to join him. On the way, they went missing on a planet to rest. Their whereabouts were unknown, and even the black box of their race was lost. ] As the last survivors of the rune planet, if you find their bodies and black boxes, graves will be extremely grateful to you.
[ mission reward: fluctuations based on the evaluation. ]
[ Note: If the quest is not completed, the friendship level with graves will be reduced. ]
Link didn’t immediately carry out the mission. Instead, he continued to bargain with graves.
“You know that this task is very difficult. Before it is carried out, I still need some support from you, the talisman craftsman of the divine Talisman Star,”
Graves furrowed his brows, clearly unhappy with Link’s insatiable behavior.
” you don’t have any real evidence now. don’t you think you’re going against the rules of the mission by asking me to cash the reward first with just your mouth? ”
Link countered every move that came his way. He was not flustered at all by the system notification that his friendship level with graves had dropped.
I’m sure you already know about our origins. I think this is your best chance, so isn’t it good to have a higher chance of winning? in any case, you won’t suffer any great losses.
Graves was speechless. Even though he was drunk in the bar, he could see everything that happened at the long dock. The other party was an Expeditionary Force from the van TI system. The man in front of him was called link, and he was their leader. He was also riding in a super large flying device that was said to be built by a higher civilization. Just this alone was his best chance of winning.
After the short test just now, the strength of the person in front of him should be at the same level as his C+. However, there was no guarantee that this guy was just a spokesperson of a higher civilization. There were even stronger existences within the mechanical fortress.
After hesitating for a while, graves finally gave in and said, ” alright, but I don’t have many materials on hand right now, so I can only bless three items with divine talismans. You guys can discuss it among yourselves.
Link had already thought of this. He took out Kohler’s dagger and told silver hand to remove his Koriya technology mechanical arm. He then asked Gamesh to give him his long night staff.
Graves looked at the three different weapons on the bar and picked up Link’s [ Kohler’s dagger ].
his calloused fingers gently stroked the lightless sharp blade and commented, ” “A dagger made of void meteoric iron. It has the power to penetrate time and space. Oh? It had even been enchanted. This kind of weapon would definitely be a divine weapon on a single planet, but it was indeed a bit inadequate to travel the universe. There were too few scenes that could be used. However, with the help of the divine talisman, I believe it can be reborn.”
graves lifted silver hand’s mechanical arm. ” “Whoa, you have quite the weight. It was the mechanical technology of a low-leveled civilization, but it complemented the flesh and nerves. It was already rare for a low-leveled civilization to have such mechanical biotechnology. After the divine talisman is activated, you will need time to adapt to the power.”
The last item was the long night staff. Graves gently tapped his finger on the long wood, and the three streams of wood at the top of the staff twisted together around a gem in the center. A few new leaves suddenly grew out of the bare top of the staff.
“A staff full of mana, surging with the power of life and benevolence. The staff still has the power of time. I believe that you will be able to use it better after you have the divine talisman.”
“You guys wait here for a moment.”
graves carried the three pieces of equipment into the inner chamber.
Link quickly used the heaven’s insight to see the surging energy inside the room. The energy in the air was quickly absorbed along with the clanking of metal, becoming part of the weapon’s enhancement.
Graves, the royal family of the talisman Star, was known as the future talent and Prince who could lead the talisman Star to glory again.
...
However, he had fallen in love with a woman who had mistakenly entered the talisman planet and rejected the political marriage arranged by the royal family. when she was escaping with her beloved, she was accidentally hit by a stray bullet and died. The royal family was also disappointed in him, and he became the first exiled heir to the throne.
After graves left the talisman Star, the royal family’s talents withered, and there were powerful enemies waiting outside. In the end, they were swallowed up by other invaders in the universe. Sarah, who was the last Royal, led the immigrants on a journey of exile. Sarah was graves ‘niece, and was also the last member of the Royal bloodline on the planet. As the only member of the Royal bloodline who had supported graves’ courageous pursuit of love, graves had contacted Sarah and asked the survivors of the planet to take refuge in St. Sula.
However, on the way here, the spaceship had an accident when it was entering a planet to rest and resupply. The group had disappeared without a trace, and it was unknown if they were alive or dead.
Graves couldn’t tell the public about this yet.
Firstly, he was afraid of exposing his identity and attracting the enemy forces of the planet. Secondly, Sarah still had the black box of the planet talisman with her. Inside the Black Box was the drawing of the most precious divine talisman on the planet. Once it was made public, people would rush to look for it. With graves’s C+ strength, there was a 99.99% chance that he would not be able to get the black box back.
Therefore, graves had to be very careful. He had to find a way to figure out the truth while not letting the news leak.
As the most skilled talisman craftsman on the talisman planet, graves ‘skills could be said to be “top-notch.”
Except for the ultimate ability of the talisman God King in the black box, graves ‘other blessing talismans were already at the point of perfection.
Creak.
As the inner door opened again, graves appeared with three weapons in his arms.
In just a few minutes, the three weapons were visibly strengthened.
...
here, your weapons have been enhanced with divine runes. Their effects are one level higher than before, and they’re enough for daily use during space adventures. Graves wiped the sweat from his forehead. He hadn’t used his power for a long time, and his skills were a little rusty.
The three of them received their weapons. Link glanced at the [ Kohler’s dagger ] and saw two rune marks engraved on it. He could see the changes from the data.
Kohler’s dagger ” (soul-bound)
[ Rarity: Epic (purple) ]

Originally, Kohler’s dagger was a level 30 item with a total attribute bonus of 100 points. After being enhanced by graves ‘divine talisman, the entire weapon was raised to level 60 with an attribute bonus of 300 points. All its effects had been improved, and the dagger’s level had been raised by one level.
Previously, the dagger’s damage was not high. Other than a few special effects, it was completely out of place for the current battle environment.
Now that the divine talisman had been activated, the dagger’s damage, attributes, and effects had undergone a qualitative change. According to Link’s judgment, it should not be a problem to use it until level 80.
Silver hand and Gamesh didn’t have systems, but the mechanical arm and staff had been with him for a long time. He could feel the difference the moment he touched them, and they were indeed much better than before.
Gamesh was surprised. As an Archmage, he had a certain understanding of blessings and enchantments. However, he had never seen a weapon that could be greatly improved by carving a few runes on it.
After silver hand installed the mechanical arm, he couldn’t help but take a deep breath. He could clearly feel the power contained in the mechanical arm. Whether it was energy or energy, it was better transmitted and amplified.
helen and macaw curiously examined the silver hand’s mechanical arm. helen was amazed, while macaw turned to graves and pointed to its big belly. Big beard, do you think I can write runes on my body? ”
